Dog Walked: New Cowboys D a dud as Giants spam plays in 28-20 win
The Cowboys weren't able to adjust to anything the Giants were doing on offense. There's a lot of work to be done.
On Sunday night, the Dallas Cowboys suffered a 28-20 loss to the New York Giants in their inaugural 2028 season opener. The Giants dominated the game, employing a variety of offensive tactics that proved to be effective against the Cowboys' defense. The Giants' offensive prowess was evident in their four scoring drives, each lasting over eight minutes, including a six-minute and a 29-second touchdown drive at the start and end of the first half.
The Cowboys started the game well, with quarterback Dak Prescott connecting with receiver George Pickens on a crucial play, only for Pickens to drop the potential touchdown. However, the Cowboys' defense struggled to contain the Giants' offense, which resorted to spamming dump-offs to their running back, with Devin Singletary eventually scoring the fourth touchdown.
Despite Dallas' strong efforts, they couldn't prevent the Giants' relentless offensive pressure, resulting in a frustrating division loss for the Cowboys. The team will regroup and address their defensive vulnerabilities before heading home to face the Washington Commanders, who recently lost a close game to Philadelphia.
